Gear up for a thrilling adventure to recover a legendary flying machine buried deep in the ruins of an ancient desert city. You'll need to coordinate with your teammates and use every available resource if you hope to survive the scorching heat and relentless sandstorm. Find the flying machine and escape before you all become permanent artifacts of the forbidden desert!
In Forbidden Desert, a thematic sequel to Forbidden Island, players take on the roles of brave adventurers who must throw caution to the wind and survive both blistering heat and blustering sand in order to recover a legendary flying machine buried under an ancient desert city. While featuring cooperative gameplay similar to Forbidden Island, Forbidden Desert is a fresh new game based around an innovative set of mechanisms, such as an ever-shifting board, individual resource management, and a unique method for locating the flying machine parts.
Great addition to the Island system which has a perfectly balances amount of new complications with familiar action. a great step up from island and if you have more into gamers than casual i would even say skip island and go straight here. great production as always only wish it came in a non tin box \0/
I love the concept of Forbidden Desert, lots of variables working against your team which makes for fun gameplay with lots of strategy-talk involved. The design of the game seems like its geared towards children, but I've played this with my 60+ year old parents and they loved it as well.
I like this game, but I think Pandemic just does it better. They're very similar.
Of all the forbidden games this one is my favorite. Island is a bit too easy and sky is a bit too much. For me this hits the sweet spot.
Love this game, very fun, very thematic, beautiful component. Family style co-op.

I use it for Century Spice Road, the character cards of LOTR - Journeys, and for the planet cards for Astro Knights. No cards have autocombusted so far... fingers crossed!
